Similar to the sconce but possessing a personality all its own is the wall lamp. This wall fixture distinguishes itself by generally having the ability to swivel and swing on a jointed arm.

This type of light can cost from $75 up to a couple of hundred dollars. It just depends on style and size as to what the final price will be.
